Kass : Archangel or Manamune?

[quote=Vort][quote=NicknameMy] Then why not just get [[archangel's staff]] + 3 [[rod of ages]] + [[rabadon's deathcap]]. Enough mana and AP. And [[nether blade]] also scales with AP. You will also have near tank stats for effective HP if you use defensive seals, glyphs and run 21/9/0. But still, 800 AP. [/quote] Because you'll have the worst early and mid game of all time, and near zero spell pen.[/quote]

[quote=Vort]In other words, you'll lose lane, have zero roaming presence to compensate for it, have no farm or damage when mid-game rolls around, and assuming you can somehow turtle as Kass until you have 6 items (which probably won't happen because you're a zero threat with no wave clear), you'll still have no mobility due to lack of boots and cdr, and low resists backing up your moderate health pool. You'll have close to no spell pen any way, meaning you won't even be able to assassinate their carries, who will likely be packing magic res glyphs, if not a defensive item as well. Good luck, and have fun.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy][[kassadin]] is a champ which usually scales into lategame anyway. And thanks to the HP from [[rod of ages]] and the tanky runes and masteries, you are very hard to kill, especially with your passive. With a build like that, your job is to farm until godmode, which I normally do on all of my champs. And I get boots 1 after [[tear of the goddess]] and boots 2 (magicpen) after [[rod of ages]].[/quote]
